Twitter-related content

Perhaps we are doing a disservice to the term "policy" by describing the most recent change at Twitter re: promotion of other media sites as such.

Twitter-related content

I see that Paul Graham (of YCombinator and other ventures) got his Twitter account suspended. I presume his offense was merely mentioning (not linking to) a Mastodon profile he set up yesterday. There will no doubt be plenty of other examples of Elon Musk's thin-skinned behavior, but his decision to treat another tech CEO like this will backfire badly if he keeps it up.

#introduction Hey everyone, my name is Scott. I live in Maryland in the suburbs of Silver Spring with my wife and 7-year-old boy/girl twins. I used to write software for a living, but these days I manage individuals and teams who do.
